A dependable method does not suppress imagination; it underwrites it. When a team knows which choices are fixed and where invention is welcome, bolder moves become affordable.
Research, then close the tabs
Opening study charts the terrain: what already exists, what feels spent, where the gap lies. Afterwards the references are put aside and the premise is drafted from recall. Anything unable to survive that filter was never load-bearing.
Premise, then proof
A written visual proposition fixes tone, order and purpose — then faces immediate examination on authentic material rather than mood imagery. Should it falter against three awkward pictures, it is redrafted before any shoot is booked.
Guidance, then handover
Stewardship during production preserves coherence without ironing out surprise; a rigorous closing edit converts a productive shoot into a unified set. The discipline pays off in the selects — fewer, stronger pictures aligned to one purpose.
